It
is my pleasure to tell you about the miraculous signs and wonders that the Most
High God has performed for me.
-Daniel
4:2
For
Sarah, You kept a promise to fill her barren lands with fertile soil, producing
an heir and assuring her heart of hope.
For Moses, You made his
mumbles move Egyptian mountains, pulled back the curtains of the sea to let
Your glory gleam a path of rescue.
For
Rahab, You sent Your spies into her sultry lair and softened her heart to save
her life, to keep her family from crumbling with once impenetrable walls.
For
David, You took a shepherd boy and anointed his head with dripping oil, sealing
his service to the power of Your kingdom.
For
Esther, You held an orphan in Your arms and presented her as Queen of a nation,
Your mouthpiece to save Your people.
And for Daniel, You sealed
the mouths of mighty beasts and kept their claws from the skin of one who
refused to bow before any name but Yours.
For
me, You heard a lonely cry and caught my tears pulling me to Your protection
and the warmth of Your light.
For
me, You walked across the universe and slipped into a waiting world, speckled
Your sandals with dust and dreams and took the trail to my redemption.
For
me, You called my name upon the cross, carrying my soul through the cosmos to
touch the door of death, so You would keep me at the threshold, never allowed
to enter.
For
me, You reached into my mouth and set Your speech upon my lips, growing my
gladness at Your grace.
For
me, You claimed me as Your own and bound me to Your side, where I will stay
with sweet certainty and promised peace.
Prayer:
Father God, the Most High in the heavens,
I thank You for the miracles and wonderful works You have done for Your people!
Throughout history You have had Your hand upon Your servants and have led them
to You. But what is unfathomable is that You remembered me through the
generations, that You called my name to make me Yours. Let me marvel at Your
grace and make my life point to You. Amen.
